Case of Esophageal Actinomycosis Occurred after Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Subepithelial Tumor
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2023 Sep 25;82(3):137-139. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.068.ABSTRACTEsophageal actinomycosis is a rare, chronic granulomatous disease caused by Actinomyces species. Endoscopy and biopsy are essential for making a diagnosis. This paper reports a case of esophageal actinomycosis that developed after an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for a subepithelial tumor (SET). A 74-year-old male patient had a 3 cm flat, smooth elevation in the esophagus without symptoms. The SET was partially resected, and histology revealed "nonspecific degenerated mesenchymal tissue".

Pediatric appendicular actinomycosis: a case report and literature review
CONCLUSIONS: Although appendicitis is very common in the general population, appendicitis associated with ACM is very rare, accounting for 0.02% - 0.06%, especially in the pediatric population. Diagnosis can be very challenging because they usually present with non-specific symptoms, and can form masses that mimic malignancies. Although rare, clinicians and pathologists should be aware of this entity. Satisfactory results and complete cure are achieved with adequate antibiotic therapy and surgery. In most cases, if there are no associated diseases, early and accurate diagnosis ensure an excellent prognosis.PMID:37661685 | ...
